i think it is normal. same like buying perdana or BLM, still need to worry about maintenance right?

the purchase price is rather cheap, a 360 modena is about rm590k only.
even a 2005 f430 cost only rm800k now

but don't be fooled by the cheap price

Old thread.. never mind.. felt like posting anyway..


The purchasing price is quite affordable to many crazy MLM'ers..
but not many are able to maintain it.

I know of a crazy MLM kid who owns an F430.. paid Rm 100,000 cash and subsequently Rm14,000 per month installments.

Purchase price is about Rm 84x,xxx something.. very affordable for him. But that is purchase price.. here comes the best part.

Owned the car for like 3 months and now sakit already.. normal maintenance and servicing costs him Rm30,000 every single time.

It's like Rm1 for every kilometer. Not to mention the fuel.. full tank can only lasts him about a day or two (about Rm250 to Rm300) for town driving which our normal daily car would take at least 5 days before the next re-fill.

Now the car only get out of the garage like once or two per months.
Pity the owner..


Lesson here:
Unless you are a real millionaire.. don't ever think of getting this crazy horse or any other luxury sports car. Rm 50,000 a month might seem a lot (his earning is 50k per month through his MLM business).. but a single Ferrari is enough to make a 50k per month dude broke early every month.

But the car does bring him a couple of good thing.. heard he manage to recruit even more people into his Uptrend2u team (or is it Luxor.. forgot edy).. that car is his team's flag car in almost every event he goes to.

LoL.. I wonder what happen to cikgu amir's f430 now. But that dude earns more than 100k per month.. i guess no problem for him. how i hope im rich as well..

What kind of maintenance?Normal oil change?
AFAIK,oil change is more or less like your normal car,not 30k
And 30k service is like 3 or 5years for 360 or F355(Major service replacing timing belt,seal,gasket,rebuild waterpump,cam timing adjustment etc)
Or 30k for clutch???
For price reference,go to ricambi america to know the parts price and labour as per charge
Is even cheaper if you DIY maintenance

the answer is definitely NO.
if you could afford a ferrari, fuel and maintenance is not an issue. period.
1st service for an enzo is a mere 19k! it's clutch replacement before 10k mileage i cheap too

i guess this is the one you guys talking about...

can someone explain to me why 2nd hand ferraris are cheap in malaysia?
testarossas usually retails at rm400k in uk but in malaysia you can get one at least half that.

Testarossa?

That is a relic. This cars no demand lar. It's not going to fetch or retain good prices for long.

And if you look at it. It depreciates as much as normal euro marques in percentage. Just because the cost of the car is higher, you see a bigger lump of money going down the drain compared to something that a normal consumer can buy.

This cars are toys, not some people carrier that can be expected to retain road value after you decide to discard it.

If you have something like a limited F50 or 250GTO. Then it's a different story.

transplant nissan engine in it ..cheapo parts

Because old car like that all is cash transaction only
So you see most car after 15 years old is very very cheap due to this very reason

It is not entirely correct to assume that in my view.

If expensive to maintain, go scrape yard, find yourself a Ferrari with a title stated "Repairable wrecked", fix it the redneck way, and in the end swap the engine with a Corvette LS series and last but not least, replace the Ferrari logo with a Chevy one... xD
